Two Cardinals with St. Louis connections were center stage this morning as Pope Benedict said his final farewell. The Pope says he will pray for his cardinals as they choose his successor.
Cardinal-Emeritus Justin Rigali of Philadelphia, the former and 7th Archbishop of St, Louis, joined Ballwin native Cardinal Timothy Dolan of New York in an interview with ABC's "Good Morning America."
George Stephanopoulos asked Rigali about speculation Dolan could be chosen to succeed Pope Benedict XVI:
"Stephanopoulos: He's on everyone's short list just about to be the pope. Rigali Well I think (Dolan laughs) we'll have to let the Holy Spirit decide that (Dolan laughs) You can see he has many virtues."
Benedict met with the cardinals as part of his final day as pontiff before retiring. Benedict promised "unconditional reverence and obedience" to his successor.

FYI: This is what passes for an impatiens in San Francisco. If you live in a warmer climate you will be unimpressed by my discovery. If you are from my neck of the woods your mind will have been blown wide open! In case you didn't get the memo, San Francisco is a Utopian paradise where plants grow larger than life. Everything is bigger and better there, and I'm not just talking about the marijuana cigarettes. Our Northern version of an impatiens is a dull flowering annual commonly tossed into a monochromatic ring underneath small trees and accompanied by a border of decorative plastic edging. They rarely grow taller than 10 inches before they are dug up and tossed out at the end of the growing season.
As you can guess from my unflattering description, I've never been a fan of these lackluster flowers. Really the only thing that makes them even marginally interesting is the fact that they are edible, and even that is nothing to write home about. But I think I can respect the impatiens I saw in San Francisco even if that respect is born out of the fear that a plant that can grow with that kind of vigor from out of a sidewalk crack could probably eat me for breakfast.

From the XML DB FAQ (#5 in the announcement list)
Your XML has a default namespace associated with it, so you will need to supply the default namespace to XMLTable/XQuery as well. Also the XPaths in the COLUMNS clause are relative to the XPath for the XMLTable itself, so I adjusted that as well. The below returns rows, but I did not verify it is what you desired. This should give you a start at least.
select a.*, b.* from cas_nummers, -- changed xmltable ( XMLNamespaces(default 'http://echa.europa.eu/schemas/ecInventory'), -- added '/ECSubstanceInventory/ecSubstances/ECSubstance' passing cas_nummers.object_value -- changed columns creationDate varchar2(30) path '@creationDate', status varchar2(20) path '@status', ecnumber varchar2(20) path 'ecNumber', -- changed casnumber varchar2(20) path 'casNumber', -- changed molecularFormula varchar2(20) path 'molecularFormula', -- changed namelist xmltype path 'ecNames' -- changed ) a, xmltable ( XMLNamespaces(default 'http://echa.europa.eu/schemas/ecInventory'), -- added 'ecNames' -- changed passing a.namelist columns ecName varchar2(5) path '.' -- changed ) b
Thanks a lot, I did missed the default namespace statement and your're right about the relative path of the columns... (forgot to chop the path :-( )
I have replace the file test1.xml with a file of about 28MB with about 100000 records(say casNumbers)
I have created a table with the columns
casnumber,ecnumber, molecularformula, cname, status,creationdate
I use the following plsql anohymous block
cursor c0
select to_date(substr(a.creationdate,1,10),'yyyy-mm-dd') as creationdate
, decode(a.status,'active',1,0) as status
, a.ecnumber
, a.casnumber
, a.molecularformula
, b.ecName
from cas_nummers,
XMLNamespaces(default 'http://echa.europa.eu/schemas/ecInventory'),
passing cas_nummers.object_value
creationDate varchar2(30) path '@creationDate',
status varchar2(20) path '@status',
ecnumber varchar2(20) path 'ecNumber',
casnumber varchar2(20) path 'casNumber',
molecularFormula varchar2(20) path 'molecularFormula',
namelist xmltype path 'ecNames'
) a,
XMLNamespaces(default 'http://echa.europa.eu/schemas/ecInventory'), -- added
'ecNames' -- changed
passing a.namelist
ecname varchar2(50) path '.' -- changed
) b
v_errm varchar2(200);
i pls_integer;
for r_casnr in c0 loop
insert into csa_cas_nummers
( casnummer_id
, cas_nummer
, ec_nummer
, stofnaam
, moleculair_formule
, dd_creatie
, status
, volgnr
, trim(r_casnr.stofnaam)
, r_casnr.molecularformula
, r_casnr.creationdate
, r_casnr.status
, 0
if mod(i,1000) = 0 then
end if;
when others then
v_errm :=substr(sqlerrm,1,200);
insert into foute_casnrs
(r_casnr.casnumber, v_errm);
dbms_output.put_line( r_casnr.casnumber||' -> '||sqlerrm);
end loop;
The strange thing is that it stops without error at +/- 38000 records (when i do select count(1) from cas_nummers and no records in the table foute_casnrs)
I have check some cas_nummers which is in the xml file but not in the tcas_nummers table....
Any idea what is wrong with my code?
Thanks in advance,
How many rows does the SQL in the CURSOR return if you run it by itself?
If you remove the entire exception handling block, does it show an error?
Why are you not doing this as a simple
INSERT INTO csa_cas_nummers (...columns_list...) SELECT ...rest of cursor...;
SQL statement?
Hi Henk,
Any idea what is wrong with my code?
A cursor loop with a COMMIT inside, maybe?
Have you tried a single INSERT SELECT with a single commit at the end?
For some reasons, if you must catch exceptions in the process, use DML Error Logging feature.
Hi Jason,
Yes I did try without a cursor loop but then I get a sql error: "cannot read more data from socket" .That is why I used a cursor loop with an exception block to try to catch the error.
When I run this on oracle11gr2 it runs without problems and I get the 100000+ records. But I need it to run on oracle10gr2
The xml table cas_nummers is created like CREATE TABLE cas_nummers OF XMLType;
I did read somewhere that it has something to do with oracle in 10g it try to read the xml in memory and in 11g not... The insert in cas_nummers is without problems. My xml file is not that big...

You probably hit a bug in that version with XMLTABLE in that version. Try using TABLE(XMLSEQUENCE(EXTRACT,.........))) instead (http://www.liberidu.com/blog/2007/11/27/the-use-of-namespaces-within-xmltable-or-the-tablexmlsequenceextract-constuct/)
I did try with the following query
select rownum
, extractvalue(value(b), 'ECSubstance/casNumber','xmlns="http://echa.europa.eu/schemas/ecInventory"') as casnumber
, extractvalue(value(b), 'ECSubstance/ecNumber','xmlns="http://echa.europa.eu/schemas/ecInventory"') as ecNumber
, extractvalue(value(b), 'ECSubstance/ecNames/ecName','xmlns="http://echa.europa.eu/schemas/ecInventory"') as ecName
, extractvalue(value(b), 'ECSubstance/molecularFormula','xmlns="http://echa.europa.eu/schemas/ecInventory"') as molecularformula
, to_date(substr(extractvalue(value(b), 'ECSubstance/@creationDate','xmlns="http://echa.europa.eu/schemas/ecInventory"'),1,10), 'yyyy-mm-dd') as creationDate
, decode(extractvalue(value(b), 'ECSubstance/@status','xmlns="http://echa.europa.eu/schemas/ecInventory"'), 'active',1,0) as status
, 0
from cas_nummers a
, table(xmlsequence(extract(a.object_value,'/ECSubstanceInventory/ecSubstances/ECSubstance','xmlns="http://echa.europa.eu/schemas/ecInventory"'))) b;
It succesfully insert it without socket error but not everything is inserted...., only 40672 records. It should be more than 100000 records. Query not correct?
Could be that some bits do not have a namespace reference.
By the way, before I forget, which database version do you use regarding 10gR2 (please mention all digits)
version 10.2.0.3 windows 7
No, If I do it in 11gr2 then I get all the records. It seems that 10gr2 xml implementation has some quirks and not reliable.
btw: if i do insert into table select * from xml it takes for hours but when I do it using a cursor (like the example above) it is quite fast just about 1 minute, even in 11gr2!
Is it possible you share one of your "big" test file ?
Or maybe it's OK if we extend the sample you gave to a sufficient amount of records?
Without a test case, we can't really comment on what's really going on.
Hi Odie,
Recap results:
In Oracle11r2 all the query inserts works (xmltable and xmlsequence) and I have the correct number of results.
I notice it is NOT the insert to the tabel is wrong but the insert in the xml table i.e. cas_numbers. The table cas_numbers was created like create table cas_numbers of xmltype;
The xml file is inserted like:
insert into cas_numbers
VALUES (XMLType(bfilename('CAS_XML', 'substances.xml'), nls_charset_id('AL32UTF8')));
if I query the to a specific casnumber then it return no rows selected. If I do it in Oracle11 then I found it. Logically the bfilename() insert is not completely correct in 10.2.0.3...
I have created a different table cas2_number(xmlcol xmltype) but it gives the same results...
Is there another way to insert xml file in table cas_numbers?
Hi Henk,
Logically the bfilename() insert is not completely correct in 10.2.0.3...
That's your interpretation.
Again, without a test case, we (well, at least I) cannot say anything for sure.
You can try to load the file in two steps to see if it makes a difference, using :

With the rapid pace of advances in oncology care ever-quickening; with the paradigm of oncology care evolving from short-term treatment and palliation to long-term chronic disease management; and with the constant need to integrate these changes into practices ranging from the small, rural, two-physician group practice up to the largest inner-city academic medical center — traditional forms of information management and knowledge sharing are being pushed to their breaking point. Enter social media. The problem? How to use it effectively.
At a meeting of 30,000 healthcare professionals, in the back corner of a room that could easily hold 15,000 standing at arm's length, amid a cluster of upwards of a hundred 60-inch round tables, I found myself among a motley group of 15 to 20 folks gathered at the 2010 American Society of Clinical Oncology Tweetup, held during the ASCO Annual Meeting in Chicago in June. Our mission: to tackle the ins and outs of Twitter, a microblogging tool that's rapidly gaining a dominant foothold in the world of social media — and medical education. And, of course, to actually meet face to face after knowing each other mainly through Twitter.
Among those who gathered at the 2010 ASCO Tweetup were several oncologists (including one ASCO board member), employees from medical education companies, publishers/journalists, ASCO staff members, and industry professionals from around the world. Each of the "partwicipants" — Twitter aficionados tend to use words that play off of the Twitter name, sometimes to the point of terminal cuteness — wore a name tag bearing both a birth name and an @twitter name (e.g., Brian; @CMEAdvocate). (See the Twitter Glossary at left for more about Twitter and some common terms.)
Several attendees introduced themselves as being Twitter novices, others were known as leaders in integrating oncology with social media. The perspectives were broad and experiences were diverse — and this would prove invaluable to the discussions that progressed over the approximately hour-long meeting. Before going into what we discussed, I would like to disclose that I currently work for Pfizer, that the opinions shared here are my own and not those of my employer, and that this article was written as a volunteer effort to help medical organizations understand the value of social media technologies.
ASCO Takes the Lead
Shortly after ASCO staff and the board member in "attwendance" began their opening remarks, it became abundantly clear that the society had embraced the potential of social media to improve the overall experience, reach, and value of the 2010 ASCO Annual Meeting. Here's a short list of social media strategies they mentioned ASCO was using for its meeting:
The www.asco.org/twitter URL was designed serve as a depot for social media strategies.
An ASCO staffer tweeted on behalf of the organization throughout the meeting on the @ASCO account.
A series of hashtags were created to simplify communications and knowledge sharing: #ASCO for general ASCO information, #ASCO10 as the official 2010 ASCO Annual Meeting hashtag, and the #ASCOehr hashtag was created just for electronic health record-related discussions.
Then we moved into a free-form discussion about general experiences with Twitter and other forms of social media by medical societies and associations. Our goal was to develop a list of topics that ASCO could consider or act upon to improve the services and the education it provides to its members. What we walked away with was far from a definitive road map for using social media, but just capturing and organizing the discussion into workable themes should help ASCO — and all medical societies and associations — develop plans to make the most of social media platforms.
One practical take-away to consider is to hold a tweetup of your own at your next meeting. Those engaged in social media are very open to sharing best practices, and this is a relatively easy and cost-neutral action item. If you do decide to try it, though, find a quiet place to hold it.Though the cavernous space in the back of the professional's hall at the ASCO Tweetup provided ample elbow room, the meeting lacked the intimacy and ambience suitable for easy listening.
The group also thought it would be a good idea to develop working committees to address each of the following work streams: policy, education/information sharing, and logistics/operations. After much discussion, here are some ideas — and answers — we came up with for each of these areas.
Developing a Policy
While we quickly concluded that organizations should develop a social media policy, there was little consensus on what constitute best practices. However, we did come up with some points to consider.
Societies/associations should think carefully about who they "follow." In Twitter, as with other forms of social media, there is an important distinction between whom you elect to follow and who elects to follow you: The first process is active, the second passive. Once you establish an account, your primary goal is to develop a social network. This won't happen overnight, but your sphere of influence will grow as you interact with other twitterers.
The general consensus of those gathered at the ASCO 2010 Tweetup was that when you choose to follow an account, you are tacitly endorsing that account, which could a have significant impact on how others perceive your organization. This doesn't mean you shouldn't participate in social media — in fact, social media participation provides a significant opportunity to build a brand and advance your mission. Just do it carefully. Policy consultant and social media expert John Michael O'Brien, PharmD, MPH, offered these three options:
Societies/associations may choose not to follow any other accounts, because their leadership fears being perceived as endorsing those they follow — or slighting those they don't. However, they risk missing important communications about their organization or issues affecting their membership.
They may also create an official account that follows verified members, staff, partners, opinion leaders in their field, and meeting attendees. This approach keeps the organization aware of meeting and membership issues while still granting "exclusivity" to those who support their mission.
Organizations that elect to follow anyone who follows them (the "followback" strategy) have the greatest potential to monitor communications of interest and communicate with the largest possible audience. However, they may struggle with filtering incoming tweets and follow "controversial" or less-reputable accounts.
Another thing to consider is the idea of establishing a "technomentor" program. This is a spin on former GE chairman and CEO Jack Welch's theory that you can ensure progress by establishing a youth mentor — someone who is in touch with existing technologies and possibilities. Though the technomentor role doesn't have to be age-dependent, it is key to ensure that organizations remain open to new technologies. Welch would suggest that this should be formalized, not left to chance.
We just so happened to have such a person in our midst: an oncology fellow from New Mexico who was recognized for the work and advice he had provided leading up to the ASCO 2010 Annual Meeting — he was unofficially nominated, seconded, and approved unanimously as the founding ASCO Technomentor … though I am not sure the vote was binding.
Additional policy considerations included how ownership and copyright matters should be managed and enforced. The general consensus was that it would be nearly impossible to police attendees sending out "twitpics" of slides or content. As one participant said, "I stopped carrying a notebook years ago. Now I take pictures and write my notes on my smartphone."
Also, the group agreed that it is important to point out that the presentations and slides at the ASCO meeting are ASCO's intellectual property, although ASCO has permitted attendees to photograph slides during sessions (as long as flash photography is not used) for personal use. All of the presentations at the ASCO Annual Meeting are available for purchase at the ASCO "Virtual Meeting" (www.asco.org/virtualmeeting).
We discussed the approach a recent congress took: Obligating each presenter to set his or her own policy on copyright, ownership, and social media. As one person recalled, "at the meeting, each faculty member had to have an opening slide that gave a thumbs-up or a thumbs-down on photography and twittering during their session … but if you walked into the session a few minutes late, you had no idea what the rules were."
Similarly, there are several examples of social media and embargo crashing headlong into one another (See Embargowatch post: http://bit.ly/cFJNXL.)
Next Page: Education/Information Sharing
Sidebar #1: Education/Information Sharing
The group agreed that social media is wonderfully suited to facilitating information-sharing and education. There was no shortage of opinions or suggestions when the discussion turned to recent experiences with social media at conferences. Admittedly, I was left wondering if people were just more passionate about sharing what needs improving, because bad experiences seemed to outnumber positive experiences by about five to one.
Intrasession tweeting: Several conferences have experimented with the use of broadcasting on a series of flat-screen televisions the real-time "tweetstream" so that participants in the room can share a "learners' dialogue" during presentations. Several participants at the ASCO Tweetup recalled a recent patient advocacy conference in Philadelphia. The room, packed with patient advocate and social media experts, was largely lit by the glow of the panel televisions and laptops. While this is not quite what you'd usually find at a large medical conferences like ASCO, there were clearly lessons to be learned.
Though the experience was generally positive, there were several instances where the tweetstream seemed to become polluted with comments made about the speaker's slides, appearance, or topics totally unrelated to the learning. As one person recalled, "There was a prolonged discussion about chocolate." For now it seems that caution is advised when using social media for intrasession purposes, but with new software being produced every day, it is likely that the learning experience will evolve along with the technologies.
Intersession tweeting: The most positive experiences reported by the group come from not how the technology is being used inside the learning setting, but from the fact that social media can redefine the learning setting. Throughout the ASCO annual meeting, learners were moving between lecture rooms of the McCormick Place Convention Center in search of better content and speakers — and this was facilitated by feedback on Twitter.
Extrasession tweeting: Beyond just helping fellow local learners find the best available on-site learning, there was a promising discussion about how learners were using Twitter to be in more than one place at a time, or "multi-twasking." For example, while in Chicago for ASCO, I was able to participate simultaneously in the Global Alliance for Medical Education meeting in Montréal by following the hashtag #GAME2010. Add to this the possibility for learners around the world to access the #ASCO10 archive through software such as www.twapperkeeper.com and the lessons from Chicago have a broad reach both spatially and temporally.
Learning assessment and evaluation: Organizers can use the social media conversations arising from medical conferences and congresses to perform novel assessments and evaluations. Organizers who monitor the official hashtag have access to a near real-time pulse check of what is working for learners and what they need. And organizers can use the hashtag in the days and weeks that follow the meeting to encourage a broader conversation to continue, which could give rise to new educational opportunities.
However, said ASCO 2010 participant Martin Fenner, MD, Hannover Medical School Cancer Center (@mfenner), "The main problem with using Twitter at conferences is that it is difficult to connect all tweets talking about a particular session. General hashtags like #ASCO10 are not a solution for conferences with several thousand tweets. The ASCO conference organizers asked us to use two special hashtags for some sessions, but it seemed as if almost nobody was using them. I would not be surprised if someone invents (or has already done so) a nice service that connects tweets to conference sessions."
In a post-Tweetup conversation, Lawrence Sherman, FACME, CCMEP, senior vice president, educational strategy, Provo Education, Fort Washington, Pa., (@meducate) said there were a variety of examples of organizations using social media networks as a resource for gap analyses and needs assessments. "By engaging healthcare professionals through social media, we have re-engineered our access to learners, and this has proven very successful to date," he said.
Edward Winstead, a journalist with the NCI Bulletin (@NCIBulletin), also noted that Twitter and other forms of social media may be quite valuable in helping traditional media and journalists gain access to data, researchers, and potentially board members in more timely and convenient ways. There was general agreement that this seems like a viable means of translating clinical and scientific information out to the broadest audience through traditional media outlets.
Sidebar #2: Social Media for Operations/Logistics
There was a general recognition that social media is wonderfully suited to manage operational and logistical issues that arise at a medical conference, but that an association/society should carefully consider how they monitor the official hashtag — and who's doing the monitoring.
For example, the group offered countless examples of Twitter being used to report issues such as lecture rooms that were too warm, too cold, or too loud, as well as when in-session audio or video needed to be corrected. One example straight from the floor of ASCO was that the initial setup of the ASCO poster session had the posters so close together that there was little room for learners to gather around for conversations with authors. This was reported to the @asco account and the #asco10 hashtag. By the next morning the poster spacing was improved. Kudos to ASCO for getting this right!
There is, however, an obvious downside to establishing an official hashtag, and that is that learners will expect that the account and hashtag are being monitored closely and that the organizers will be responsive to questions and complaints. Among the group's questions: "Must societies monitor their official hashtags?" and, "For this to be done right, does the staff monitoring the hashtag have to be senior enough to act independently and quickly on behalf of the society?" At this Tweetup there were no clear answers, but as societies and associations move forward with social media plans, it is likely the best practices will evolve — and hopefully be shared.
All of this is admittedly new to many of us. Several early adopters of Twitter and other social media noted that the number of tweets posted for the entire 2009 ASCO Annual Meeting was less than the average per-day tweet count for the 2010 ASCO Annual Meeting. So use is growing, at least at ASCO. It may take a few more years before we can truly integrate these new technologies into our working practices and daily lives — at one point during the Tweetup one person shared a comprehensive but lengthy opinion of what social media policies should look like and how social media can support learning. About five minutes into his comments he was interrupted and reminded that he had exceeded his 140 Twitter character limit. We laughed, but it was clear that change will not happen overnight.
If you have already begun heading down the road of adopting social media technologies to meet the needs of your organization, join the dialogue by using and monitoring the hashtags #hcsm and #hcsmeu (healthcare and social media) — there are thousands of patients, advocates, healthcare professionals, and educators already participating in these discussions. Or, reach out to me directly at @CMEadvocate, and I would love to continue the discussion.

WASAGA BEACH – More than half of those who participated in an online survey gauging public support for a casino are in favour of seeing slots in Wasaga Beach.
Of the 688 people that took art in the survey, 53.5 per cent said they are strongly in favour and 9.2 per cent said they are somewhat in favour while 30.3 per cent said they are strongly opposed and 3.5 per cent are somewhat opposed.
The survey results complied by Wasaga Beach economic development officer Jenny Legget were to be presented to members of council on Nov. 6, along with the results of the paper version of the same survey.
Council members were expected to debate whether or not the town should compete to host a 300-slot casino, and possibly gaming tables, in advance of an official council decision.
Based on the surveys, input made at public meetings and other comments, Legget is recommending that Wasaga Beach tell the Ontario Lottery and Gaming (OLG) Corporation that it is a willing host.
If council supports the recommendation, members will also have to decide where they do not want the casino situated so the OLG can place the restriction in the request for proposals for private operators.
Staff has identified eight potential sites and Legget reports two other private operators have expressed interest as well.

- Made in Mexico.
Ozone Technology. LESS WATER. LESS ENERGY. LESS CHEMICALS. Ozone Technology has allowed Big Star to reduce its use of water, chemicals and energy by approximately 25% annually, helping to save the world one jean at a time. Koos Manufacturing Inc., the home to premium denim brand Big Star, is now using Ozone Technology, a wash process that significantly reduces the company's water consumption, use of chemicals and dirty energy. Big Star applies Ozone Technology to its denim manufacturing as a drying process that essentially produces a cleaner finish on the jean in a much quicker time frame, and uses no water during its cycle. Normally, jeans are rinsed with large amounts of water to get rid of the excess indigo from the garment, and chemicals are applied to fade the jean and clean up indigo bleeds on the pocket linings. The ozone acts as a bleach to disinfect the garment, kill bacteria and reduce indigo backwash, dramatically lowering water consumption as well as energy and chemical usage.

Summary of Enchantment Summary of Enchantment Reviews for Enchantment An Excerpt from Enchantment
Enchantment, as defined by bestselling business guru Guy Kawasaki, is not about manipulating people. It transforms situations and relationships. It converts hostility into civility and civility into affinity. It changes skeptics and cynics into believers and the undecided into the loyal.
Enchantment can happen during a retail transaction, a high-level corporate negotiation, or a Facebook update. And when done right, it's more powerful than traditional persuasion, influence, or marketing techniques.
Kawasaki argues that in business and personal interactions, your goal is not merely to get what you want but to bring about a voluntary, enduring, and delightful change in other people. By enlisting their own goals and desires, by being likable and trustworthy, and by framing a cause that others can embrace, you can change hearts, minds, and actions.
-Kirkus Reviews, March 1, 2011
"Guy's book captures the importance - and the art - of believing in an idea that delivers something entirely unique to the customer. The power of a really good idea to transform the marketplace and individual customer experiences is huge, and this book offers a wealth of insights to help businesses and entrepreneurs tap into that potential."
-Sir Richard Branson, Founder of the Virgin Group
"Kawasaki provides insights so valuable we all wish we'd had them first."
-Robert B. Cialdini, author of Influence: Science and Practice
"The best overall treatise on interpersonal relationships since Dale Carnegie wrote How to Win Friends and Influence People."
--Michael Gartenberg, research director, Gartner
"Guy has written the small-business manifesto. There is nothing more important for entrepreneurs than to enchant their customers, and Guy explains exactly how to do this."
-Jane Applegate, small-business management expert and author of 201 Great Ideas for Your Small Business
"Guy teaches you how to pull gems from people's hearts and minds and how to become an effective practitioner of life's crucial domains. Clearly, I taught him well."
-Dr. Phil Zimbardo, professor emeritus of psychology, Stanford University
"You feel it when you drive a BMW, touch an Apple iPad, shop in a Sephora store, or buy shoes from Zappos. Kawasaki reveals how you can deliver the same enchanting experiences as these famous brands."
-Robert Scoble, Rackspace videoblogger

TORONTO -- The Canadian government criticized a United Nations agency for issuing a report condemning Canada for complicity in torture and human rights violations in Afghanistan and Syria.
A report from the U.N. Committee Against Torture issued Friday said Canadian military commanders didn't do enough to ensure the safety of detainees handed over to Afghan security forces during the Afghan combat mission, which ended last year, despite a substantial risk that they would be tortured.
During its review, the panel also found that Canadian officials were complicit in human rights violations of a Canadian detainee held at the U.S. Navy base at Guantánamo Bay, Cuba. Omar Khadr is serving an eight-year sentence, to be split between Guantánamo and Canada, after pleading guilty to war crimes for throwing a grenade in Afghanistan when he was just 15 that killed a U.S. soldier.
Documents surfaced in 2009 showing Khadr's U.S. captors mistreated him through sleep deprivation and isolation ahead of an interview with an official from Canada's Foreign Ministry in 2004. The Canadian government later said it was aware of media allegations of mistreatment of Guantanamo detainees, but it had no reliable proof that Khadr had been mistreated before interviewing him.
The agency recommended that Canada promptly approve the transfer of Khadr, the youngest and only remaining Western detainee in Guantánamo, to Canadian custody.
The U.N. Committee Against Torture is dedicated to reviewing the record of compliance and implementation of U.N. treaties by member states. The committee reviewed Canada's record with respect to human rights and torture prevention going back to 2005.
Its report said the Ottawa government shared inaccurate information with Syrian authorities linking three Arab Canadians to al-Qaida, resulting in them being tortured in Syria. Officials shared the information before Abdullah Almalki, Ahmad Abou Elmaati and Muayyed Nureddin traveled separately to Syria on personal business between 2001 and 2003.
The U.N. agency also faulted changes to Canada's immigration laws which it said may increase the risk of human rights violations including a legal provision that allows the Canadian government to detain and deport permanent residents or foreign nationals considered to be a security threat based on secret evidence that the accused is not allowed to see.
Julie Carmichael, a spokeswoman for Canada's Public Safety Minister, said Saturday that it's disappointing the U.N. agency spent time condemning Canada "when there are serious concerns regarding human rights violations across the world."
She added that "Canada is a nation of laws and the actions of our Government uphold the highest standards in the protection of human rights."
The report also urged the Ottawa government to pay compensation to the three Arab Canadians for their mistreatment in Syria.
Among its other recommendations, the agency also said Canada should adopt a policy for future military operations that clearly prohibits prisoner transfers to another country when there are substantial grounds for believing that the detainee would be in danger of being subjected to torture.

When you're ready to start your next oil painting, pick up Shiva pianistic artist colors instead of a brush. Manufactured in the US, paintstiks are ideal for sketching and outlining, Shiva pianistic artist colors are refined linseed oil blended with a quality pigment and solidified into a convenient stick form. Paintstiks can be spread or blended and used in conjunction with conventional oil paint. There are no unpleasant odors or fumes, so you can virtually paint anywhere, at any time, on almost any surface from paper to panel to fabric. Paintstiks are self-sealing. That is, they form a protective film so the color won't rub off or dry out. Yet they always stay moist and fresh, providing an indefinite shelf life because they reseal in 24 hours. This film is easily removed by peeling it away with a paper towel, or rubbing it off gently. It can also be removed by carefully paring it with a knife (it can be sharpened to a point in this matter). When the stick has begun to wear to the edge of the sleeve, simply loosen the sleeve from the oil stick at the seam, open the sleeve and push the stick forward. Press the sleeve around the oil stick again and repeat the peeling process as needed. Remember that Shiva pianistic artist colors are oil color, the same as tube oils, so all the same techniques, mediums and surfaces can be used including varnishes.

New farmer's market mid-week in midtown
This summer, midtown Omaha will have its own mid-week farmer's market.
Wohlner's Grocery is behind the new Mid Week Market at Midtown Crossing, which will take place every Wednesday from 4 to 7 p.m. beginning June 6 and continuing through Aug. 8.
Local farmers and producers will set up in the parking garage attached to Wohlner's Midtown Crossing, at 33rd and Dodge.
Wohlner's owner Mike Schwartz is working with Lori Tatreau, a local food project manager with Western Hills Resources, to run the market. Tatreau worked to plan the outdoor Emerging Terrain grain elevator dinner in 2010, part of the Stored Potential public art project.
Clayton Chapman, owner/chef at the Grey Plume, also in Midtown Crossing, said he's excited to have a local market right down the street from his restaurant.
For more information about the market, contact Molly Skold at 402-598-9676.

Yuh Yng Chook (Cantab) -
Vice-President for Cambridge

Although not a rower herself, Yuh Yng founded the Oxbridge Malaysia Boat Race back in 2005 and remained the main organiser for 5 consecutive years. She is sad to note that all the "organising energy" poured in has not (yet!) produced a win for Cambridge - but has faith it will very soon! Other notable contributions to the Society include organising the Boat Race Ball, Oxbridge Students' Debates and various social events. She is currently the Country Manager for JobStreet.com Malaysia, the nation's No. 1 Job Site.
Dr. Ian Halsall (Cantab) -

He is a Yorkshireman and is the only known surviving supporter of Leeds United Football Club in Asia.
Elizabeth Lee Fuh Yen (Cantab) -

Louise Goss-Custard (Oxon) - Executive Committee Member
Louise read PPE at Corpus Christi and moved to Penang in 2010. After (too) many years of corporate life, living in Singapore, Paris, New York and Shanghai, she now works on various projects and start-up businesses, including Time Out Penang and Penang Monthly magazines, That Little Wine Bar, The Penang Pork Company, Sunalini Yoga and Georgetown Vintage Vespas. This leaves her time for raising ducks and chickens in her back garden, and doing plenty of wine drinking and practising yoga herself.
John Teng Yong Shen (Cantab) -
Executive Committee Member
John Teng Yong Shen is a graduate in Land Economy from Wolfson College (Cambridge). He admits to having built the CUMaS website, made a 7-foot snowman, attended about two dozen formal dinners in 21 colleges and to having been been sozzled once after some fairly disproportionate pennying. Now a property consultant with WTW International, he says he is curious to see what possibilities 'big data management might bring to real estate market research'. John was the chairperson for the Oxbridge students' debate in 2009 and also in 2013 and is (he writes) a "newbie" to the society.

Dayton is back
Nov 25, 2012
By JEROD YOUNG
Of the News-Register
SALEM — The No. 1-ranked Dayton Pirates beat the No. 5-ranked Santiam Christian Eagles 32-18 in the 3A state semifinals Saturday at McCulloch Stadium.
With the win, the Pirates make a return trip to the 3A state finals and will face the No. 2-ranked Cascade Christian Challengers at 4 p.m. Saturday at Cottage Grove High School.
Dayton fell behind early in its semifinal playoff and trailed the Eagles 12-0 after a Jacob Callis 3-yard touchdown run with 8 minutes, 30 seconds remaining in the first quarter and an 18-yard touchdown pass thrown by quarterback Grant Schroeder to Christian Fullbright with 2:01 left.
After a miserable offensive first quarter that saw Dayton produce 11 yards, and a heated exchange from Pirates coach Brodie Unger, the Dayton defense allowed six points through the remaining three quarters and the offense produced 295 total yards in the win.
The start of the second quarter is when both sides of the ball came alive for Dayton. The Pirates moved the ball down the field, and Forrest Garica ran the ball in from the 1-yard line for the score with 5:34 left to put the Pirates on the board.
Santiam Christian responded by moving the ball down the field quickly and scoring its final touchdown of the game, a five yard run by tailback Joe Pelley with 2:12 left in the half and an 18-6 lead. Garcia answered the score 23 seconds later by taking the ball 40 yards to the house to narrow Dayton's deficit to 18-14.
Jered White gave the Pirates lead with 54 seconds left in the half on a 40-yard touchdown reception from Bernards.
Garcia scored his third touchdown of the game — a 1-yard touchdown run at 9:02 in the third — for the 26-18. White scored the final Pirate touchdown, a 10-yard run in the fourth quarter
Garcia rushed for 114 yards and three touchdowns, and White had 98 receiving yards and one touchdown. The Eagles produced more total yards (369) than Dayton but were not able to get the second consecutive playoff win vs. the Pirates after last year's 47-yard game winning field goal in the 2011 3A state championship game.
Santiam Christian was led by Schroeder's 225 passing yards and one rushing touchdown. He also led the Eagles with 59 rushing yards. Both teams rushed for 144 yards and both teams were 3-for-3 in the red zone.
With the win vs. SC, the Pirates return to the 3A state finals for the second year in a row.

How to introduce open source to your public library
I was intrigued to read this recent article in The Guardian about public libraries' new role as community problem solvers. If you read carefully into this article you'll notice the author talks about libraries becoming more involved with "proactive community engagement."This means that libraries are looking to community members as partners to help solve community problems. In the open source community, we're familiar with how well these methods can work. In open source, different players contribute to group projects according to their own personal strengths. The results can be far greater than anyone originally imagines.

Resources for libraries exploring the open source option
Libraries of all types have the same questions about open source software that are asked by technologists in other fields. Does open source make sense for me? What open source packages mesh well with the skills already in my organization? Where can I go to get training, documentation, hosting, and/or contract software development for a specific open source package?With funding from the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation, we set out to build tools that help libraries answer these questions. These questions and answers may be useful to others as well.

Protecting special places in the sea.
Little is known about the Kermadecs. In an effort to deepen knowledge about this remarkable region, Global Ocean Legacy with the Museum of New Zealand Te Papa Tongarewa hosted an international science symposium in Wellington, New Zealand, in August 2010.
The symposium, "DEEP—Talks and Thoughts Celebrating Diversity in New Zealand's Untouched Kermadecs," brought together representatives from science, government, academia, theMāori community, industry and conservation to share their knowledge of the geological and biological diversity of the Kermadec region.
The Kermadecs remain one of the few relatively unspoiled places on Earth. We have an opportunity to further protect this amazing region and ensure that the unique natural features and biodiversity found there are conserved now and for future generations.

The computers at school are very good. They have several labs and access is very good.
ResNet sucks, but there's always an open computer lab.
There is almost always a computer available in the labs. I use a laptop, and the internet works pretty much everywhere on campus quite well! The only problem is the wireless connection in my room.
The computer is the best tool that could be used on campus.
Not having your own computer at school would be very inconvenient. Although there are computer labs in probably every academic building and residence hall on campus, doing homework late at night or wanting to Skype your family would be bothersome. ResNet in the dorms is HORRIBLE. I do not get WiFi everywhere in my room. Sometimes when I am on the internet in my room, it will disconnect and I'll lose whatever I was working on online.When it does work, it's painfully slow. VERY FRUSTRATING. UW Net is reliable most of the time and fairly quick.

Written by Marie Puissant
While UW offers a plethora of computer labs and Internet access, the majority of students do bring their own computers, and suggest that others do as well. Students find convenience and safety in having a computer in their dorm room. This way, they can do their papers at their leisure, download music, and keep documents in a secure place. The dorms and private halls offer high-speed DSL in each room, along with small computer labs within the building. These smaller labs are nice if your computer is malfunctioning, or your printer runs out of ink and you're on a deadline. Be warned though-these smaller labs will often be crowded, and sometimes charge to print.
For those not able to bring their own computer, UW offers numerous labs spread all over campus. In order to meet the varying schedules of students, some open as early as six in the morning, while others stay open past midnight. All computer labs provide PC and Mac consoles so that students can use the programs they are most familiar and comfortable with. Furthermore, each lab is equipped with word-processing programs, Internet access, and research outlets. Along with these basic programs, the labs also provide printers, scanners, and copiers. For more specific computer hardware or software needs, check out the lab directory to find the right location.

Grant applications for the Innovative Community Grants Program will be accepted until April 21st by the Placer County Department of Health and Human Services.
Thousands of people in Placer County get their mental health needs met every day, either directly or indirectly, through their natural networks of family, friends, faith groups, and community groups. Many of these groups may not recognize the role they are already playing in providing support to individuals dealing with mental health issues.
The Innovative Community Grants Program aims to support the various groups and natural networks in Placer County that are currently providing assistance in keeping people well and preventing the need for intensive mental health services, as well as determining whether, given additional support and resources, communities can develop effective and long-term solutions to fit the specific mental health needs of their own populations.
Grants will be awarded in amounts from $50,000 up to $100,000 per grantee. This program is funded through the State's Mental Health Services Act.
Interested groups are encouraged to attend one of three "brown bag" informational meetings to be held from 11:30 a.m. – 1:30 p.m. on Feb. 22 at the Cirby Hills Center in Roseville, on Feb. 24 at the Placer County Children's System of Care in Auburn, and on March 4 at the North Tahoe Family Resource Center in Kings Beach.
The grant application and detailed information on the program's requirements is available online by clicking this link: Grant Application.
For additional information, call 530/889-6701.
